She thanked a group of strangers for giving her a helping hand during a difficult moment, promising to reveal all soon.
The former model shared a selfie with her kids, writing, “IF ANYONE ELSE WONDERS WHERE THE ‘VILLIAGE’ IS… FOUND THEM!!
“THEY WERE ON A RYAN AIR FLIGHT FROM VERY HEAVING STANSTEAD THIS MORNING IN THE FORM OF THE MANY LOVELY COMPLETE STRANGERS WHO HELPED A VERY EXHAUSTED MUM (WHO HAD TOTALLY PACKED ALL WRONG/FAR TOO MUCH) JUGGLE TWO KIDS ON MY OWN!!
“I ACTUALLY CRIED BECAUSE I WAS SO BLOWN AWAY BY HOW HELPFUL PEOPLE WERE BEING!. AND I DECIDED TO STOP BEING SO BLOODY ENGLISH ABOUT IT AND SAY YES TO EVERY OFFER OF HELP!
“I WAS CLEARLY NOT COPING VERY WELL AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POINT PRETENDING I WAS! WILL SHARE MORE ABOUT IT LATER! … I KEPT THINKING ABOUT @AMANDAPALMER ‘S BOOK ‘THE ART OF ASKING’,” Ali concluded with a heart emoji.
The Becca Dean star – who is married to actor David O’Mahony – introduced Isabella Charlotte to the world in April.
She and Three Musketeers movie actor David, 40, already have a three-year-old daughter called Isla.
Isabella was born by Caesarean section at London’s Chelsea and Westminster hospital.
Ali told OK! magazine at the time: “The midwife was like, ‘Ready, 1,2,3…’
“Then the screen dropped and Isabella was lifted up. I just sobbed. It was so overwhelmingly emotional.”
She added that staff even let them choose the soundtrack to the baby’s arrival, saying: “Isabella was born to Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. We had that song at our wedding. It’s very jazz hands.”
